Villa in Palaiokastritsa, Corfu, Greece - Great Location Offering A Variety Of Sandy And Pebble Beaches

Villa Thalia is spacious enough to accommodate eight to ten people while no one gets to be disappointed; whichever room you choose, you’ll get a magnificent sea view… Enjoy the harmony of nature, feel the vibes of the rich natural scenery that surrounds you and get in touch with your romantic side as Villa Thalia overlooks to the most breathtaking sunset you’ll ever get the chance to experience!

Beautiful Villa and magnificient seaview

We arrived at six o'clock in the morning and Katherina (manager) had been waiting for us since 5. Everything was in perfect order.

The Villa consists of 2 separated sections (first and second floor). We were 6 people travelling on vacation and this gave us the opportunity to be together, but still have the possibility of privacy. The Villa is well maintained and has good quality in every aspect. We loved the marble floor which is in every room - fantastic to walk barefoot on marble!The house has everything you need and is spacious. All the bedrooms has a magnificent sea view - so no arguing who gets which room :-)There is an air-condition in every room and also a mosquito net in front of all the doors and windows. This allowed us to change between air-conditioned cooling and natural cooling in a good way. Usually me and my wife were up early in the morning and we started with turning off the aircon and open doors and windows. When we were finished with the morning coffee on the terrace the house had the same temperature as outside shadow temperature. No one caught a cold which usually can be an issue.

Outside there are two sunbeds and three sitting areas. There is no insight from roads or neighbours - you can enjoy full privacy in the garden.

The house and the property is in a steep terrain. Because of this the beautiful garden is in multiple levels. The height difference from the Villa to the road reduced the noise from the traffic to almost insignificant.

Before we booked the villa we looked at the area in google maps street view. And to be honest we were a bit sceptic. It did not look as charming as it is in reality. In the morning we walked down the stairs, - turned right and walked 3.5 minutes to our breakfast bar (Tango Bar). On our way we passed other tourists taking photos of La Grotta (a bar and swimming area, not beach). In the evening we turned left and walked to Spiros Taverna or to Elia Taverna and fished with Cactus Bar. Very good food and good service. Every thing we needed was within walking distance.

The nearest beach is just below Tango Bar, only 3-4 minutes further walking. The height differences naturally led to a lot of walking in stairs.. For us this was positive - we had a lot of calories to burn. However, for people who has problems with stairs , the villa has a private (narrow) road going all the way up to the house.

We highly recommend Villa Thalia

Amazing Villa/view and hosts

Firstly this is the most amazing villa extremely spacious everything you could want, home from home. The views were breathtaking and Paleo is definately the most beautiful place on the island to stay. The villa was faultless, immaculately clean and as well as double glazed pvc doors and windows had the added benefit of sliding mesh doors/screens on every door and window to keep mosquitos etc out. Remote control air conditioning in each room fresh towels and clean linen all provided. Plenty of bars and restauants within walking distance and a regular bus service to Corfu town. If you hire a car as we did the villa is in its own private grounds so has its own parking area. We arrived early hours of the morning and despite being late Katerina the owner was still there waiting for our arrival to show us around the villa. WOW! It was lit all around the balcony with little candles and lanterns so pretty and romantic. She even left balloons, pretty individual heart biscuits, bottle of wine and birthday tart for my birthday as well as a welcome goody pack which consisted of milk butter olive oil fruit etc. so lovely and really thoughtful. She is an amazing person so hospitable and even rang me the weekend before we travelled to check the height of the bed for my father would be ok (as he has had hip operations and need a high bed) she used two mattresses to make it higher for him...absolutely brilliant!! The villa was so peaceful and relaxing we were happy to lie out on the balcony on the comfortable sun loungers and just enjoy the view. Definately would recommend this villa and we are definately going back! Thankyou Katerina x

The heart of Paleokastritsa

This villa is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of Paleokastritsa, surrounded by the mountains and very very close to the sea which you can observe from any room or from the terrace. The view is really breathtaking as you can see so many beautiful things at once: green mountains, caves, beaches, boats running here and there. A lot of fun was looking at people in their boats through binoculars. It is nice to have a dinner on the terrace. Evenings are calm, air is fresh and full of the chirping of cicadas.

There is no big hotel or anything like that close to the villa so it is really a quiet area, at least it looked like that in the end of September.

Little supermarkets, taverna, bus stop and beaches are very close to the villa. A bit further away there are more tavernas, supermarkets, beaches and bakeries. If you like to walk (about 20 minutes) or have a car there is a wide range of things around.

There is The Monastery of Virgin Mary of Paleokastritsa which is worth visiting. It is an example of classic monastery architecture with a pleasant atmosphere of tranquility and comfort. The views from this place are astonishing.

One would think that the villa and the sea views are the only main features but in my opinion there is one more not less important thing - the host. Katerina is one of the friendliest persons I have ever met. She was always ready to help us whatever we needed. Her attention to the details from the decoration of the villa to all the safety things (the house is safe for little kids, terrace is fully closed etc) is pleasant.

All the above makes this place a heart of Paleokastritsa in any sense.

Great holiday and hospitable Villa

We spent 4 wonderful week in this Villa Thalia in Paleokastritsa. Villa consists of 2 independent floors in a beautiful garden. From every bedroom and verandas we could enjoy marvelous sea view.

The first floor has one big bedroom, living room, kitchen completely equipped, and a bathroom.

The second floor has three bedrooms, a big living room, 2 bathrooms and a kitchen also completely equipped. A spacious veranda is around the house overlooking the sea and mountains.

Katerina the owner of the Villa is very pleasent, friendly, helpful and her family was always ready to help us. They made our staying there as comfortable as possible. The location of Villa Thalia is very suitable and convenient, as the small super markets, tavernas and the beach are quite near the house. The bus stop is also near the Villa, just in 10 meters, we took the bus to Kerkyra (Corfu town) it took us 30 minutes to get there, and the ticket price was 2,30 euros.

We were two families with 5 children (age from 2 till 13 years) and we had enough place for everything. Twice a week a nice lady made cleaning and changed the bedclothes and towels, becides, there were beach towels.

The nearest beach is a La Grotta Beach, but it is only for adults and teenagers. The beach in 300 meters is suitable for small children as well. We took sunbeds and umbrellas buying drinks or snacks from the bar Poseidon instead of paying the sunbed price. The sea was warm and calm.

We really enjoyed our holiday!!! We are very grateful to Katerina and her family!!!
